CPR had Meteor playfields up as "printing now", but I noticed today they are no longer on the site. I was definitely late to the game, but curious if anyone got a purchase e-mail from them? Probably gone already....

Quoted from ita47:I am also on the pre-order list and also eagerly awaiting the email. I was put on the list March of last year. I am praying they get to me before they run out.
Got my e-mail yesterday and ordered it yesterday as well. This is going to rock once that's installed! Looks to be the last title that will be silk screened at all. Total transfer to digital printing now. They also updated the "pre-order" section on their site today to say that it's an obsolete process and all of the botique titles will now be made in digital form, as they all have the art ready to go. Much longer message in the pre order section on their website, and is worth a read!
EDIT: just got my shipment notification tonight. Awesome!

Quoted from JONESDS:Has anyone purchased a CPR mirrored Meteor backglass? I picked one up on the holiday sales and pulled it out for an install... the mirror layer has a foggy look to it, it's not a crystal clear mirror look like the original. Is that the new expected look for mirrored CPR backglasses? Just want to confirm if that is the new expected look or if I might have a bad print.
I did the same and mine looks great to me, but we can always share some photos and see if there is a difference.
After receiving your photos, I can confirm that mine has the same difference as yours in the mirroring.
Currently, I have brand new glasses with mirroring in my Alien Poker, Gorgar, Blackout, and Meteor. All of the old original glasses are consistent with the original Meteor glass. All of the new glasses mirroring look like the new Meteor glass.
I had never noticed this before. My Meteor came directly from CPR, but the Gorgar, Blackout, and Alien Poker came from Planetary Pinball. They could have been made by CPR, but I do not know for sure. They are all consistent with their production times though, new and old.
I'm still glad that everything is now available to restore the Meteor: playfield, glass, and plastics. Just gotta order a set of stencils and let the fun begin!
